Bigfoot. I love this guy. I can't get enough of him. In fact, my wife gave me a Bigfoot T-shirt for Christmas featuring the famous frame 352 from the legendary Patterson-Gimlin film of a supposed sasquatch (same shot as above). I give him about a 60 percent chance of being real.
#2:
Thunderbird. This birdbrain is a distant second. I do enjoy reading some T-Bird accounts online from time to time, but I'd give him about a 20 percent chance of being real. Hey, that's a chance at least!
#3:
Lake Monsters like the Loch Ness Monster or Champ from Jared's neck of the woods. I think there's a solid 50 percent chance that a lake monster exists somewhere.
#4:
Orang pendek. He's a smallish, bipedal Sumatran ape of some sort. There have been some credible sightings of an orang pendek, but the reason this little monkey is so far down on my list is because he's not indigenous to America. In other words, I have no chance of ever seeing him. :-( I give him a 40 percent chance of being real.
#5:
Blo.
He's also supposedly bipedal, and despite some credible sightings in the past, I don't think he's real. I give him a zero percent chance of existing. It is fun to read about him, though.

My favorite: Chupacabra
Can't believe you left him out.
Coyote with mange, my left foot.
He's real.
Karl,
I'll just say I've read quite a bit on BF, and I'm convinced he's likely real. If you have time, check out the book by anthropologist Dr. Jeff Meldrum ...
Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science
I've got a site on bigfoot that I'm working on, and there's a poll on it asking if people believe bigfoot is real. If you get a chance, slide by and cast your vote. Right now it is 74% for and 20% against.

I got hooked on Monster Quest - my kids laughed at me. Then he laughed harder when I turned on "Ancient Aliens"

60% chance of Bigfoot being real? I wish I could believe that; it would be so cool. But really? Convince me.
